The employees of the Pierre Police Department are committed to serving the citizens and visitors of Pierre in a way that is consistent with the department’s values, mission, and vision. In order for us to effectively meet those goals, we need input from those people who have been in recent contact with our officers and employees.

Investigation of Complaints

Complaints alleging misconduct by police personnel will be treated with serious consideration. Anonymous complaints, which do not allow for verification of circumstances, will not be given official investigation. The complainant and police personnel concerned will be notified of the result of the investigation and the disposition of the complaint.

Filing or transmitting any false report or false threat to law enforcement is a violation of South Dakota Codified Laws. Any incidents of false reports or false threats will be investigated and handled consistent with other criminal violations.
